【Learn Chinese】Romantic Phrases in Chinese (Part 1)
 
Today, we’re unlocking the heart with 15 Chinese love phrases, each one a delicate key to new romantic adventures and heartfelt expressions.
Whether you’re charming a Chinese speaker or wishing to sprinkle a dash of exotic allure into your love life, these phrases are your passport to fluently convey your emotions.
 
I‘m thinking about you 我想你了
Embark on a sentimental journey with a phrase that softly echoes the feelings of a gentle heart: 我想你了 (wǒ xiǎng nǐ le). A subtle yet deeply expressive whisper that, through text or call, can bridge the miles between you and your beloved.
Use this phrase when your heart quietly yearns for someone special, but the words to tell them are playfully hidden behind shy butterflies. It paves a tender path towards a deeper, blossoming connection.
 
I long to see you 我想见你
Journey onward with another romantic expression for your love tale: 我想见你 (wǒ xiǎng jiàn nǐ). This phrase beautifully conveys a yearning not just felt in the heart but also seen in the soul, becoming particularly poignant when separated from your cherished one.
Employ this phrase when distance births an ache, a longing to be closer, and your spirit silently beckons for their presence.
 
I want to give you a hug 我想给你一个拥抱
Unraveling another heartfelt phrase, we have 我想给你一个拥抱 (wǒ xiǎng gěi nǐ yī ge yōngbào), which tenderly says, “I want to give you a hug.”
While a hug emoji is a quick tap away in our digital age, imagine the warmth and depth felt when expressing such a sentiment through these romantic words. It’s bound to touch the heartstrings of your loved one just a bit more deeply.
 
I like you 我喜欢你
When you’re ready to express your feelings and take a step forward in a relationship, 我喜欢你 (wǒ xǐhuān nǐ) is your go-to phrase, which simply means “I like you.”
You already know 我 for “I” and 你 for “you,” so now let’s explore 喜欢 (xǐhuān). It translates to “to like” or “to be fond of.” While at first glance, 我喜欢你 may seem like a casual declaration, in Chinese culture, it holds deeper meaning. It often carries the weight of “I love you.”
The word for “love,” 爱, isn’t used lightly by many Chinese, especially in newer relationships. So, if you’re looking to deepen your bond, 喜欢 is a heartfelt and culturally sensitive choice.
 
I’ve had a crush on you for a long time 我喜欢你很久了
Taking the sentiment a step further, we come across another romantic phrase: 我喜欢你很久了 (wǒ xǐhuān nǐ hěn jiǔ le). This touching expression means, “I’ve had a crush on you for a long time.”
While it goes beyond a simple “I like you,” it doesn’t quite venture into the profound depths of “I love you.” It’s a delicate way to share that someone has been special to you for a while, possibly even before they realized it.
